It was also the perfect spot for a long slow run with a few photo stops on a fresh winter morning. Cold in the shade but beautiful in the rising sun. We often visit the area as it is an easy 1 hour drive straight down the M1 motorway from Brisbane just make sure you avoid the peak hour traffic.
The Gold Coast always makes me feel like I am on holidays even if it's only for a couple of hours. As a youngster my family would save up and once a year in the usually in the winter, travel up from cold Melbourne and spend some of the school holidays in what felt like paradise.
